Abstract

The work of Kervaire and Milnor reduces the classification of homotopy spheres in dimension atleast 5 to the problem of computing stable homotopy groups of spheres and their Kervaireinvariants. We will give an introduction to the recent developments in homotopy theory which leadsto the solution of the Kervaire invariant one problem and classification of homotopy spheres up toaround dimension 170.

      Persistent homology filtering of signals over graphs | BIMSA Topology Seminar

      AbstractPersistent homology provides essential topological insights into datasets, representing eachtopological feature with an interval whose length, known as the feature's lifetime, represents itspersistence. Features with short lifetimes are typically regarded as noise, while those with longellifetimes are considered meaningful characteristics of the dataset. We introduce a novel filteringme...
